Cowboys vs. Rattlers

Saturday was Dakota's scrimmage game against the Rattlers. If you can't tell by the title, Dakota's team is the Cowboy's and he's #10. He played an awesome game, as usual. I just love watching him play and I'm so proud of him.........not just on the football field either.
I still need a better lens, but some of the pictures I took, turned out so good; you can even see the grass splashing up like water. Speaking of water, it was SOOO hot and the sweat kept pooling in my eyes, so much so that I couldn't see half of what I was taking pictures of, not to mention that my sunglasses kept getting blurry. It was really, really hot, did I mention that? I can only imagine how hot those little guys were standing out there in that heat with pads and helments on, kinda makes you look forward to cooler weather. Not really, I HATE cold weather.......major reason I live in Florida (2nd in line to the Beaches)!
Anyway, Dakota's team won: Cowboys - 22; Rattlers - 0. Great sportsmanship on each side and I didn't hear any parents screaming, "take him out!", like I heard last year while standing on the opposing teams side taking photos. Seriously, is that any way for an adult to act? Ah, but I digress.
Even though it was hotter than all get out, even in the shade, it was a great way to spend the afternoon.
Here's a couple of my favorite photos; the rest I posted on FB, but the only way to see them is if you're a friend, or family; although Dakota or Misti may post some on their site for anyone to see. I won't because I don't have permission from anyone's parents to do so. Enjoy!
